Hi Chris

I've just gone to BT within the last week or so.  I didn't install
anything, simply plugged the cables in and set up my account.

A word of warning though.  I had ructions with BT to start with because
my modem light kept flashing on and off every 10 seconds.  My colleague
James popped round and kindly announced to BT that my modem was
resembling a Christmas tree with its lights flashing constantly.  We
were both told that I needed to let the modem settle for up to 10 days
to ensure that I was getting a constant static signal.  What a load of
old cock and bull.  I politely asked them if they'd keep my charges at a
static zero until this settled, but they didn't seem to understand!
(smile).

It has now settled, which is perhaps just as well for them.

No, don't install any software, just plug it in.

Hello all,
My friend will be getting a new laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium this
coming week. She's currently with the above provider. Does she require
the software they give you or can she just plug in the Ethernet cable
and get internet access right away?
Just want to be safe and sorry.
Thank you very much. Take care.
From Chris.
